Hymn 179
Almighty Thou God of our peace
Meter: P.M.
Scripture: Gen 1:14
Almighty Thou God of our peace
Decreed that the year roll by
Thy children have come to thank thee
For the New Year begun
Praise ye the Lord, praise ye the Lord
The great king who spared our lives
We thank thee for our protection
In the year that has just passed
We implore thee for thy help Lord
For us all in this New Year
Let Thy flock here, let thy flock here
Keep growing in Jesus Christ
May the adults prepare themselves
To serve with one heart this year
May the young ones too be ready
To seek God with all their hearts
May the Lords peace, may the Lords peace
Be the crown of this new year
May the Holy Ghost from on high
Come upon us
May the pastor and the teacher
And all the congregation
Prepare themselves, prepare themselves
To do service for the Lord
